Then you didn't specifically raise the issue with him or his crew chief (like I did).
It was his crew chief's words ("tough on") with respect to the Mr. Click's Mark I on ZF transaxles, not mine. I submit that the two ZF transaxles that they keep as spares aren't for investment purposes.
Certainly, you can maintain and tolerate a weak link in a chain by babying it, but when you pay 130-140k for a de-facto race car (i.e. the SPF GT40) you shouldn't have to do that. Certainly Mr. Click isn't doing so all the time on the track with his original . . . . . and therein lies the problem stated by his crew chief. Whether Mr. Click is abusing his transaxles, I cannot say.
Good luck with the treatments. I know they are a bitch.
